Assignment 1: A train of rectangular pulses making excursion from 0 to 10 volts has a
width duration of 50 msec and repeated every 500 msec. Assuming that the centre of a pulse
is located at t=0, Obtain the Fourier series of the above signal. Then, Plot the amplitude and
phase spectra of the signal.

Assignment 2: let us find the fundamental
period T, the fundamental frequency ωo, and
the Fourier series coefficients ak of the periodic
sawtooth signal x(t) shown in the figure. then,
we will express x(t) as a Fourier series.
Solution:
o The fundamental period T= 1 s, hence the fundamental frequency ωo=2π rad/s.
o First, the average value over one period (the DC value of the signal) is 0, so ao=0.

Parseval’s power Theorem:
This theorem relates to the average power P of a periodic signal to its Fourier series coefficient.
The Parseval’s Power theory states that the total average power of a periodic signal x(t) is equal
to the sum of the average power of the individual Fourier coefficients, i.e. Cn.
Thus, the average power of x(t) = (power of C1)+ (power of C2)+……
